Love at first sight on the label.
Fresh aroma like freshly baked bread or yeast.
Contains and smooth texture.
Slightly beery, rummy green.
Light, young riceiness. Fresh acidity.
The flavor is fresh and rich.
Taste 4/5
This is the second bottle of 2023BY, a regular winter muddy.
Huh? Was it this apple-like? I didn't notice it much immediately after its release, when it had a strong "schwashy" taste, because of its vigorous activity and the strength of the turbidity. I was rather surprised because I thought it was more banana-like. It is a Niigata sake, but it is very tasty with an aroma like sake from Tohoku.
There is no alcohol or harshness on the palate, so even people like me who are not good at apple-based drinks can enjoy it.
On the other hand, from the third day, it transformed into my favorite flavor with a banana-like aroma! What on earth is going on?
It's dry but soft, so it's a great wine that goes down easy. It goes well with all kinds of food, Chinese food, fried food such as shrimp cutlets, and grilled green pepper in dashi broth. And it's so good that you can even drink it by itself! I am always impressed! And I still have the third bottle I bought yesterday that was put on hold...lol!
I was attracted by the stylish wine-like label and bought it~.
The sake is +10.5 on the sake scale, so I was prepared for it and took a sip... I could feel the sweetness and deliciousness of the rice 😳, but as I swallowed it, the dryness came through! ✨
No matter what you pair it with, the sweetness is assertive and firmly felt, but it is not sticky sweet and has a sharpness that makes it easy to pair with fish.
Medium fatty tuna, sushi, fried food, meat, pickles ◎
Basically, it goes with everything 😋.
I made up my mind to drink other series for sure on New Year's Eve: ☃️
Low sweetness and acidity, with a clean and refreshing crispness. The aroma that passes through the nose is rich. The light sweetness sinks into the tongue.
